91. Channeling My Inner Union Slacker
April 20, 2013
You know, folks, I’ve written—or rather related stories—for long as I can remember. The earliest were childhood tales about neighborhood grocers that my brothers and I considered humorous in a Laurel and Hardy kind of way. When we were supposed to be settling down to sleep I’d recite the next nightl...

92. Airline "Rewards"
April 06, 2013
This is an excerpt from the a chapter of the still-in-progress sequel to my 2009 book, AFTER HOURS. It actually chronicles an experience I had in Zanvoort (The Netherlands). This just happens to be the lead in to that chapter...
I was preparing to leave Houston for Amsterdam where I was sche...

93. Lessons from the French Revolution for America
March 31, 2013
When the French people overthrew their feudal government beginning in 1789 they aligned to the slogan, “Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite” (ou en Anglais): Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.
Equality (doing away with privilege) was the most important part of the slogan, and to obtain equality th...

94. ROPE-A-POPE
March 16, 2013
Once there was a heavyweight championship fight between George Foreman (of grill fame) and Muhammad Ali (nee Cassius Marcellus Clay). Both won Olympic Gold a decade or so apart. Ali defeated the stronger Foreman through a strategy of leaning back against the ropes and protecting himself while he let...

95. Open Letter to Young Men
March 01, 2013
Nature is playing a dirty trick on me. A few years ago I discovered an enemy in the mirror. I wrote about it. To foil the rat-bastard I am very active physically and mentally; constantly training like an Olympian, writing voraciously, and diddling in goofy entrepreneurial projects. Most of the latte...

96. Those Greedy, Greedy Businessmen

GREED: excessive or reprehensible acquisitiveness. CAPITALISM: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods by investments that are determined by private decision rather than state control, and by prices, production and distribution of goods determined by com...

97. Final Odyssey (For a Guy Like Me)
February 17, 2013
Sooner or later humanity will have to learn how to deal with the sun when it becomes a red giant and vaporizes everything on this rock. We’re talking maybe 100 million years in the future. Of course before then the moon may escape Earth’s gravity (it’s moving away about an inch and a half a year), a...

98. Racism--Liberal Style
February 11, 2013
This essay is not intended to be a hit job on the libs. It’s just that whenever I see blatant phoniness and transparent pandering, no matter where it comes from, I feel compelled to throw the bullshit flag, y’know? See the problem with me is I happen to be a thinker. Genuine racism is odious...

99. Happy New Year Blues
January 13, 2013
According to tradition, at least that of our Western culture, the genesis of each new calendar year is time for a NEW beginning, an opportunity to restart of one’s life, and/or a chance for a do-over. This custom is based upon our prevailing human condition, which features convoluted logic derived f...

100. Weird Christmas Thoughts
December 20, 2012
I wasn’t sure I should write this blurb; I mean the world ends December 21, doesn’t it? Hey, I got a flash: maybe ONLY Mayans are targeted for extinction. Why not? The Long Count Calendar belongs to them. We’ve superseded it with the Roman calendar. Unconnected thought: Isn’t it amazing tha...
